The first annual SLO Mini Maker Faire is scheduled for May 11. The SLO Mini Maker Faire takes after its enormous parent event, Maker Faire, but will be a smaller, community-focused, family-friendly event, celebrating do-it-yourself creativity and tinkering. The event will be free to the public.

On May 11, letter carriers once again will proudly lead the country’s largest single-day food drive to help fight hunger in America. Carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in post offices and deliver them to local community food banks, pantries and shelters. Be sure to leave your bag of food by the mailbox. For more information contact your local Post Office.
